Fallout creator Tim Cain joins Obsidian

The father of the Fallout series Tim Cain has reunited with his old chums Josh Sawyer (project director), Chris Avellone (designer, writer), Chris Jones (co-lead programmer on Fallout) and company at Obsidian Entertainment, recently signing on as senior programmer.

For those always yammering about the "golden age" of PC gaming, this is especially good news.

Obsidian is currently at work on an adaptation of The Wheel of Time; there've also been mentions of a possible sequel to Dungeon Siege III.
